Because since the Reagan administration repealed the fairness doctrine in 1987, US news has more in common with reality tv than it does with the US news in the days of Walter Cronkite.
The truth is not important, what will garner ratings and eyeballs is.
- The Fairness Doctrine only covered public airwaves.
  Currently, it'd get rid of AM talk radio bullshit, but that's it.
  
  And with the rise of cable the fairness doctrine should have been extended not repealed.

In case you're in a hurry here's the jist of the linked article
The article criticizes the media for its ongoing coverage of Donald Trump despite his criminal indictments and anti-democratic behavior. It argues the press ignores Trump's calls for violence and fails to consistently mention his fraud charges and impeachments. While Biden made progress with labor unions, the media focused more on an outlier poll favoring Trump. The author claims both political parties and the press lack courage and fail to hold Trump fully accountable for his lies and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Unless the facts about Trump's legal troubles and history of falsehoods are prominently addressed in all reporting, the media is not doing its job of informing the public, the article contends.
